103-344 - Bail Spring

Product Description

DAM Quick Bail Spring Replacement (Part 103-344)

Restore the crisp bail action of your vintage spinning reel.

The DAM Quick 103-344 Bail Spring is an essential internal component designed to restore the automatic bail return function on several classic DAM Quick spinning reels. Over time, original springs can fatigue, corrode, or snap, resulting in a "dead" bail arm that must be closed manually. This high-quality replacement spring is precision-engineered to meet the tension specifications of the original German manufacturing, ensuring your reel operates smoothly for years to come.

Whether you are performing a full restoration on a vintage series reel or simply fixing a daily workhorse, this bail spring is the correct part to get you back on the water.
